I am a CMF missionary among the Turkana people of Kenya. I have served there since 1996. My primary work has been in Adult Literacy. In 2009 I began teaching English to our Turkana church leaders.

Goodbyes

I am so looking forward to heaven! There are many reasons, but one of the greatest right now is that there will no longer be goodbyes. This past week, we had to say goodbye to some longtime friends. They had only been on our team for about five months, but they were not new to me as friends. The Seidel family had to return home to the States because of family medical issues.

Please be in prayer for them as they return to the States and re-adjust to life there. Pray also that they will be able to find jobs quickly. They will need a sure knowledge of the Lord's presence as they walk this difficult road, so please bring them to the throne often. Pray for wisdom for them as they determine the next steps in their own journeys.

Please also be in prayer for the Turkana team. With the Seidels gone, we will have to determine new ways to meet the needs of our medical clinics. Pray for wisdom for us as we seek the way forward on this as well.
